About Andrew
Andrew Spencer is a qualified relationship and couples counsellor, practising in Guildford, Surrey (GU2 4JD), with online sessions also available.
Hello, I’m Andy Spencer, a qualified Relationship Therapist supporting both couples and individuals. I’m also a Supervisor for other Couple Counsellors and an accredited member of the National Council of Integrative Psychotherapists (NCIP).
Relationships can be deeply rewarding but also challenging. Stress, family pressures, or emotional disconnection can make it difficult to communicate or feel close. My role is to help you both understand what’s happening, learn new ways to connect, and move forward with greater clarity and respect.
My approach is proactive and supportive. I use a range of tools to help you explore what’s gone wrong, rebuild understanding, or separate more peacefully when needed. I integrate Gestalt, Transactional Analysis, and Person-Centred Counselling within a calm, confidential environment.
As an accredited NCIP member, I follow their ethical guidelines and undertake regular supervision and professional development to ensure the highest standard of care.

“We went to the sessions as a couple and neither of us had any previous experience of counselling. Andrew was supportive and attentive; he encouraged us to talk but also listened and reacted to what we said. It was a comfortable space that allowed us to talk openly. In some ways, the fact that we are still together and in a much better place almost a year later shows that he helped us through our difficult time.”
